Description: Body Labs makes the world's most sophisticated data-driven digital model of human shape and pose. We have extensive capabilities, tools, analytics and know-how in the areas of modeling specific individuals (such as fit models) or sub-populations (eg. targeted consumers, athletes, plus-sizes, etc.). We work closely with apparel and equipment companies to help them better understand and visualize their target consumers’ body shapes and motions, and improve their design-to-manufacturing workflow. Our current clients include large sports apparel manufacturers and the US Army.
Our forward product focus is on BodyKit, a set of APIs and embeddable components that can be used by any developer or company to easily build apps or tools that interact with the human body. With BodyKit we’ll power the next generation of custom clothing websites, fitness tracking apps, virtual reality experiences, and more.
